About this trial

The study is aimed to test the performance of a simple, easy, reproducible cytofluorimetric assay to complement imaging studies for:

* predicting response to immune-therapeutic regimens in HCC in the early phase of treatment, * to rule out pseudo-progression, * to early predict the escape from effectiveness of treatment.
